Although not playable, Parity Bit's horse racing sim popped up at Spaceworld.

A long-promised Nintendo 64 title finally made its Spaceworld debut last weekend: Derby Stallion. Produced by Japanese game creator Hiroyuki Sonobe, the N64 version of the immensely popular horse race simulation was only shown on a jumbotron display at Nintendo's event stage -- and only very briefly at that.

Although we couldn't confirm that the game will in fact use the promised GB Link to use Game Boys to place bets, we were able to catch a rare glimpse of the game's graphics. The game goes for a much more mature look than the other (Japan-only) N64 horse racing offerings, with realistic looking, polygonal horses. The game is reportedly being developed by Marigul/Parity Bit and will be published by Nintendo before the end of the year.
